I am now using this computer at home. The RAID card has failed. I'd like to remove it, reformat the drives and use the computer as a non-RAID version.


I have physically removed and unplugged the RAID card from the connector. I reinstalled the hard drives. However, when I boot up off the MacOS El Captian Install DVD, Disk Utility cannot find the four hard drives that had previously been plugged into the RAID Card.


Am I missing a step somewhere? Is there more hardware beyond just the RAID card itself I needed to remove, and if so, can someone point me to the instructions on how to do it?
